How to Setup Outlook Express to Download Newsgroups from News.CIS.DFN.DE If you have not already signed up to the server visit http://news.cis.dfn.de/ Click
the english section to register and you will be told to send an email
with: Your
full name (first and last name) An email will be sent to you confirming your account name and password. After you have received your confirmation email, have your name and password ready-then follow steps below. You can now setup Outlook Express or your preferred newsreader to download newsgroups whilst connected with any dial-up. |
Open
Outlook Express and go to Tools then Accounts
 |
Click Add then high-light News
 |
Type your Display name in as you wish it to appear when you post. This can be your real name or anything at all and click Next
 |
|
Enter your reply Email address. The e-mail addresses in From:, Reply-To:, and Sender: fields must belong to you and they have to be valid. Using identifiers of other individuals without their permission or e-mail addresses that will bounce is not permitted. (For more details see paragraph 5.3 of the FAQ) See Here
There
is also other advise that says "we
recommend to get an account with a free e-mail provider (such as GMX, Yahoo,
Hotmail, Bigfoot...) and to not read mails that go to that address at all, only
sporadically or in combination with suitable filter mechanisms.
This has the same effect, but does not violate the netiquette, our policy or
other guidelines. Alternatively you can use the free service at deadspam.com;
you will get an e-mail address, and mails to this address will be bounced to
the sender with a configurable message."
now click Next
 |
Here you should enter News.CIS.DFN.DE and tick the box. Then click Next Or you can use the mirror site NEWS.FU-BERLIN.DE as it is less used and therefore faster. Very useful in case either server goes offline !

newsgroups which contain" box above) and all
